A probe and a primer capable of collectively detecting microorganisms of
the same species while differentiating microorganisms of other species
with an object of classification by species of fungus. An oligonucleotide
probe for detecting an infectious etiologic microorganism gene includes
at least one base sequence selected from the base sequences belonging to
one group of the following first to ninth groups. The base sequence
groups of first to ninth groups are: first group (SEQ ID NOS:1 to 5);
second group (SEQ ID NOS:6 to 10); third group (SEQ ID NOS:11 to 15);
fourth group (SEQ ID NOS:16 to 21); fifth group (SEQ ID NOS:22 to 26);
sixth group (SEQ ID NOS:27 to 31); seventh group (SEQ ID NOS:32 to 36);
eighth group (SEQ ID NOS:37 to 41); and ninth group (SEQ ID NOS:42 to
46).
